ICYMI - I commend unto you my most excellent podcast interview with break-out stand-up star Faris Hytiaa, the pride of Lethbridge, speaking about his Sudanese roots, Alberta identity, and the future of Canadian comedy. At a moment of both crisis in Sudan, and rising anti-immigrant rhetoric in Canada, this is a very timely listen. (Also includes comedy excerpts, if you need a good laugh today.) #Alberta #AlbertaUnbound #abpoli #Canada #Sudan #yyc

The Famous 5 have such a dark complicated legacy, that celebrating Persons Day always brings mixed emotions.
